Last night, the TPUSA event at the University of California, Berkeley, descended into chaos when a left-wing group of Antifa thugs disrupted the event.
A bloody fight broke out near the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday afternoon, ahead of a Turning Point USA event on campus.
The event, which will feature Dr. Frank Turek and Rob Schneider, marks the end of the “This Is The Turning Point” tour.
It takes place just two months after TPUSA’s founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on Sept. 10. The confrontation erupted at around 4:30 PST. During the brawl, two men were seen fighting each other, one of whom had blood gushing from his face.
Matt Vespa of TownHall.com noted: “College campuses should be a bastion of free speech. Sure, they’re also liberal cesspools, but one used to be able to voice a contrary opinion that ran counter to the progressive ethos without total war breaking out.”
Today’s Leftists have made it crystal clear — free speech, free thought, and diversity of opinion have no place in their worldview. They prove it every single day, and Monday night was just the latest example of their intolerance on full display.
But now, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon is stepping in and putting UC Berkeley on notice. The message is simple: the days of silencing voices you don’t agree with are over:
@UCBerkeley and the City of Berkeley should expect some incoming @CivilRights correspondence. And more. In America, we do not allow citizens to be attacked by violent thugs and shrug and turn our backs. Been there, done that, not on our watch.
Berkeley has long been ground zero for left-wing indoctrination — this is the same campus where students are taught that ICE is somehow a “tool of white supremacy.” It’s also the place where, in 2020, a Turning Point USA worker was assaulted just for handing out conservative materials.
Dhillon reminded everyone that this isn’t Berkeley’s first run-in with anti-free speech behavior — the university had to settle a lawsuit over similar issues back in 2017.
She also reposted a report from independent journalist Andy Ngo noting out the Antifa-affiliated group that organized the violence against TPUSA:
Conservative influencer and one-time congressional candidate Robby Starbuck asked the obvious question: If Antifa is a designated terrorist organization, why are they allowed to terrorize?
Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, conservative students at UC Berkeley — and every other campus in America — have the right to express their views and exist peacefully without being harassed, threatened, or attacked by left-wing agitators. But let’s be honest: until there are real consequences for the radicals who trample those rights, the intimidation and violence will keep happening.
